Saw a Miata 10AE over the weekend. As I examined the glovebox, I found a handgun. It was pretty heavy(probably loaded) and I had a hard time pushing the glovebox door back. The seller was a young guy, lived in a upper middle class neighborhood.
Seems rather sketchy, I dont know if I should have asked if he had a permit for it.

 

I'd ask BEFORE you gave it back.

 

It's really none of your business if he has a permit or not.

Personally I'd be hesitant about making a business deal with anyone who feels the need to keep a handgun in his glovebox.

Furthermore, you have to wonder about anyone who would sell their car and keep the handgun in there knowing full well you'll be inspecting it.

 

Haha Safety First!

 

What to do when you find a gun in a glove compartment of a car you trying to purchase.

1. Check if gun is loaded.
2. Check if it's loaded with live rounds and not blanks
3. Point gun at the seller/sellers
4. Ask for keys to the car.
5. Go for a joy ride.

 

if i was u i took that gun and aim it on his head!! now i ROB YOUR AS.S BIATCH!!!

 

If dirty hairy was dumb enough to leave it in the glove box I would keep looking.

 

I keep a 12 gauge in the trunk... Wanna buy my car?

 

+1

 

Pu$$y! Real G's Keep it unda tha Seat.....

 

Seriously though, WTF was the seller thinking?

 

if the firearm was loaded and not secured (eg: triggerlock) then it would be illegal for them to have it in the glovebox, i believe. even if they had a concealed carry permit.

 

Now your fingerprints are all over the weapon.

 

First, CCWs are next to impossible to qualify for in California. In the local Bay Area counties, the Sheriff has issued an unmeasurable amount of the said when considering the total population.

An empty handgun should not be transported in the glove compartment. Those doing so are looking for big troubles.

When I go to the range, my guns are stored separately from any ammo in the trunk of my car. The slides are pulled back and locked, the cylinders are swung open. Each handgun is in its own case/sleeve. Going to the shooting range and an occasional hunting excursion are the only times when there are firearms in my cars.

I find it quite troubling that any individual believes that there is a need to carry a concealed firearm in the glove box of a car.

 

Unless the guy is a cop, I'd go look for another car. It really isn't any of your business, but wether he has a CCW or not, keeping a loaded firearm in the glove just sounds irresponsible and shady...
